I am trying to set it up with a Turtle Beach Ear Forace X12 headset for my PC. My computer can't pick up the audio from my mic. What to do?

The splitter will help you share the audio.... Imagine having two X12 headsets and connecting both green inputs to this splitter to share audio.... it won't help with the mic feature. Hope this helps

As I don't know what you know about computers, I suggest the following. If you know all this, I apologize. Make sure your Behringer XM8500 is selected in 'Recording Devices' in 'Sounds' in the control panel. Your computer could just be picking up sound from the built-in mic.

Turtle beach made an adapter to fit the Xbox One's controller. The headset will work with PC with sound, but no voice support.

You have to turn on your Bluetooth on your computer. If your comp don't have Bluetooth you have to use the audio cable.

You don't mention the computer but if you are using an Apple computer you will need to obtain a separate microphone amplifier that the headset microphone plugs into. It will not work without one.

I looped my audio through a stereo using audio in and out in addition to headphones an its still worked i would assume so if your computer has internal speaker (mine doesnt) just make sure you have everything configure properly.

I wish I could help you. I'm using it for voice over one end is connected to the computer, the other side is connected to my mic.

I wish I had an easy answer for you, Roger. 2 suggestions: 1) I found the customer service via SimpleSoft's website (http://www.simplesoftusa.com/) helpful. They responded within a day. 2) Keep trying different ports. I had trouble with the bluetooth microphone, and through trial and error, found a workable solution. It involved calling my wife several times, and asking if she could hear me. If not, I tried a different port. Eventually, 1 worked. Frustrating - and poor instructions - but in the end, worth the effort. Good luck!

For future firmware upgrades. AFAIK there hasn't been any released on SteelSeries' website. http://steelseries.com/support/downloads#audio For the record, you can't connect the headset via USB directly to PC for wired audio.

I would say that if it does not work it could be a problem with the mic or the audio system tha is connected to. The mic has a some options or buttons that you might need to play with but those are just to choose what type of mic will be used. Sorry i DON'T have more, it should work just fine, the power is given by the audio system amp. Do you have an amp?

Though the computer can see the headset as the mic, when I checked how loud the computer was receiving the voice input, it was only seeing it as a whisper, even though I was speaking very loudly.In short, you can set it up, but it will be useless.Sources: Quick test using a Win7 comp and Windows Recording Devices

Yes, remember this is a stereo mic. Sound card that supports stereo mini jack will allow best recording I used with the turtle beach USB sound device with laptop. Clean recording . Good field sound pickup ,,, conference table application for meetings Skype , hang outs as long as participants aren't freeked out by size. Setting for cardioid and hyper cardioid is real change in recording. No phantom power Power switch activates internal aaa bat ... So yes with PC sry verbose reply.

Yup. Nothing I've done made my mic work better on Xbox One. I just ended up buying a pair of Turtle Beaches and just using my Polks for my laptop. When I used my Polks, people on Xbox told me I had a subtle echo and was incredibly quiet. I used 2 different updated controllers and 2 different mic adapters, but to no avail. Same story with the 'fixed' replacement mic they sent me. Awesome sound, horrible mic.

I use the heahphone mic for Teamspeak. Ive asked, and my friends notice the difference between my desk mic... But they say I'm still audible in game.

Plug it into one of your USB ports, then plug the headphones/mic/speakers or whatever your using it for in and you done. Windows has native support so the Operating system should pick it up right away. I bought mine for a set of Klipsch speakers, has been working well for about 4 months.

1. Make sure to switch on the amplifier for volume boost. The switch is located below the right ear cup.2. If you are on PC, check the mic volume control in the computer.3. As the mic is located on the ear cup, you might need to voice up a little.4. Check if the cable is properly connected.5. Try on different devices.If none of the above is working, I guess most probably you get a defect item.You will need to send it back to the seller then.
